as bad as his car was and might have been next year, he is also walking away from (i would guess) somewhere between 20-30mil a year and with a team that would have let him pursue the triple crown dream.
i was pretty shocked by the announcement.
Sainz is also a bit of a shocker to me. the Mclaren is what it is now so i suppose you cant expect a top flight name combined with a lack of other options, but i feel its a fairly uninspired choice. i doubt Ron Dennis would have made a similar signing in this situation.
